White-Collar and Corporate Crime
Captions available
The idea
White-collar crime is committed by people of high status in the course of their occupation; corporate crime is committed by an organization for its own benefit.
In practice
Falsified accounts and concealed safety findings can harm far more people than any street offense.
Where people slip
These are prosecuted less often and punished more lightly, which is a finding, not a claim about their gravity.
